Welcome to Bloxwich Academy Primary!

As Headteacher, now in my fifth year at this fantastic school, it’s been an absolute privilege to see Bloxwich Academy Primary go from strength to strength. The partnership between our school and our parents and carers has grown so much over the years, creating a strong and supportive community that makes coming to work every day a real pleasure.

With over 30 years of experience in education, working in both primary and secondary schools across different local authorities, I bring plenty of knowledge and passion to this role. Walsall means a great deal to me—it’s where I was born, where I went to school, and where I spent some of the happiest and most important years of my life.

At Bloxwich Academy Primary, we live by our motto, ‘Be the best you can be.’ From the moment our pupils step through the door, we work hard to help them reach their full potential and to give them every opportunity to thrive, whether that’s in the classroom, on the playground, or in the wider world.

I’m incredibly proud of everything we’ve achieved together so far and excited about the journey still to come. By working as a team—with parents, carers, the trust board, our pupils, and staff—we’ll continue to build on the solid foundations we’ve created and ensure every child gets the support and encouragement they need to succeed.

I look forward to working with you all and creating an even brighter future for every pupil at our school.

Best wishes,
Ms. S. Shepherd"
